Honours for IHBC members Insall & Davidson

Two IHBC members have been recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List 2010, with a knighthood for Donald Insall CBE, ‘considered by many to be one of the leading conservation architects of his generation’, for services to conservation architecture, and an OBE to Liz Davidson, for services to conservation and architectural heritage in Scotland.

Their pro-active roles in the sector are well represented by Donald Insall’s attendance at, and promotion of the sponsorship of, the IHBC’s 2010 Annual School opening reception on the night before his knighthood, and Liz Davidson’s contribution to and participation in the IHBC’s forthcoming joint conference in November in Glasgow, Investing in the Past, which will look at the development of local and global funding strategies for developing heritage projects.

Jo Evans, recently elected Chair of the IHBC, said: “It’s wonderful to see such substantial formal recognition of the efforts of conservation professionals, and of the wide public benefits they bring as part of their day-to-day work.”
